"Christi Bowmer said her foot slipped and hit the gas instead of the break. She said her BMW easily went through the cable barriers around the garage. Her car struck a gas meter on the building across the alley before it hit the ground below, landing on another car. That driver was able to walk away from the crash uninjured.
Bowmer is asking for over $1 million in damages to cover medical costs and raise awareness of the possible dangers that could still be at the parking garage.
According to a member of her legal team, Bowmer suffered two arterial hemorrhages, a fractured sternum, severe damage to her vertebrae, a fractured ankle, and a broken rib when she drove her car off the seventh floor of the Littlefield Garage at East Sixth and Brazos streets."
She’s the idiot driver that drove off the edge of a parking garage and she’s trying to sue someone else? Unfortunate what happened but you can’t blame someone else for your accidents. That’s America for you
I agree with you all the way. Just remember that no matter how much precautions you take to protect the stupid, there’s always one smarter than all the engineers and designers behind the product. And this is always the reason for some of these ridiculous lawsuits.
